mahogany chairs; a Turkey carpet an inch ; thick; and was lighted with wax candles only.

In the centre, bristling and gleaming with silver and glass, was a round table, at which fourteen could have dined comfort- ably; and at opposite sides of this table eat two gentlemen, who looked as neat, grave, precise and unromantic as the place-—Mer- chant Wardlaw and his son.

| Wardlaw senior was an elderly map, tall,

thin, iron-gray, with a round head, a short, thick neck, a good, brown eye,a square jowl that betokened resolution, and a com- plexion so sallow as to be almost cadaverous. Hard-as iron; buta curtain stiff dignity and respectability sat upon him, and become him.

Arthur Wardlaw resembled his father in

Gofline—Explanation of the Epistles and figure, but his mother in face. He had, and

has, hay-colored hair, a forehead singularly white and delicate, pale blue eyes, largish ears, finely chiseled features, the under lip much shorter than the upper; his chin oval and pretty, but somewhat receding; his complexion beautiful. in short, what nineteen people out of twenty would call a handsome young man, and think they had described him.

Both the Wardlaws were in full dress, according to the invariable custom of the house; and sat in dead silence, that seemed natural to the great, sober room.

This, however, was not for want of a topic; om the contrary, they had a matter of great importance to discuss, and in fact this was why they dined tete-a-tete; bu; their tongues were tied for the present; in the first place, there stood in the middle of the table an epergne, the size of a Putnay laurel-tree; neither Wardlaw could see the other, with- out craning out his neck like a rifleman from behind his tree; and then there were three live suppressors of confidential inter- course — two gorgeous footmen, and a sombre, sublime, and, in one{word, episcopal dutler; all three went about as softly as eats after arobin, and conjured one plate away, and smoothly insinuated another, «nd seemed models of grave discretion; but

- AtJast, however, thoge three enug-hypo- crites retired, and, by good luck, ‘trans- | ferred their suffocating epergne to the side-

,board; so then father and son looked at

,one another with that conscious air which naturally precedes a topic of interest; and Wardlaw senior invited his son to try a certain decante1 of rare old port, by way of preliminery.

But ho conceived a desire that the future head of his office should be a University man. So he announced’ his resolution, land to Oxford went young Wardlaw, ‘though he had not looked at Greek or Latin for seven years. He was, however, furnished with a tutor, under ,whom he recovered lost ground rapidly. The Reverend Robert Penfold was a first- class man, and had the gift of teaching.

j wossible,

Champion, which had ali the smoothness,

and neatess of a merchant’s letter, Ar- thur Wardlaw was already a master :n that style.

Six months a‘ter this, and one fortnight before the actual commencement of our tale, Arthur Wardlaw, well crammed by Penfold, weat up for his final examination, throbbing with anxiety. He passed; and was so grateful to his tutor that, when the advowson of a small living near Oxford came into the market he asked Wardlaw semior to lend Robert Penfold a sum of money, much more than was needed: and Wardlaw senior declined without a mo- ment’s hes tation.

This slight sketch will serve as a key to the dialogue it has postponed, and to sub- sequent incidents.

‘Well, Arthur, and so you have really taken your degree ?”’

‘No, sir ; but I have passed my examina- tion. The degree follows as a matter of course—that is a mere question of fees.’

‘Oh, then, now I have something to say to you. Try one more glass of the ’47 port. Stop; you'll excuse me; [ am a man of business; I don’t doubt your word: Heaven forbid! put do you happen to have any document you can produce in further con- firmation of what you state—namely, that you have passed your final examination at the University?’ .

‘Certai:ly, sir,’ replied young Wardlaw; ‘my Testamur,’ |

‘What is that?’

The young gentleman put his hand in his pocket and produced his Testamur, ur ‘We bear witness;’ a short-printed document in Latin, which may be thus translated:

‘We bear witness that Arthur Wardlaw,

of St. Luke's College, has answered our ques-|-

tiens in humane letters. Grorce Ricwarpson, AKTHUR SMYTHE, Epwarp Merivate, Examiners.’

Wardlaw eenior took it, laid it beside him on the table, inspected it with his double eye-glass, and not knowing a word of ae: was mightily impressed, and his respect for his son rose forty-five per cent.

‘Very well, sir,’ said he. ‘Now listen to ine, Petiape it was an old man’s fancy; but I have often seen in the world what a

stamp these Universities put upon a man. To send you back from commerce to Latin and (ireek, at two-and-twenty, was trying you rather hard; it was trying you doubly; our obedience and your ability into the argain. Well, sir, you have stood the trial, and I am proud of you. And ‘so now it is my turn; from this day and from this hour, look upon yourself as my partner in the old established house of Wardlaw. My

and the partnership deed drawn. You will enter on a flourishing concern, sir; and you will virtually conduct it, in written com- munication with me; for I have had five- and-forty years of it: and then my liver, ou know! Watson advises ‘me strongly to eave my desk, and try country air, and rest from business and its cares.’

He paused a moment; and the young man drew a long breath, like one who was in the act of being relieved of some terrible weight.

As for the old gentleman, he was not ob- serving his son just then, but thinking of his own career; a certain expression of pain and regret came over his features; but he

‘Come, come,’ said he, ‘this 1s the law of Nature, and must be submitted to with a good ‘grace. Wardlaw junior, fill your glass.’ At the same time he stood up and said, stoutly, ‘The setting sun drinks to the rising sun; but could not maintain that artificial style, and ended with, ‘God bless you, my boy, and may yon stick to business; avoid speculation, as I have done; and so hand the concern down healthy to your son, as my father there (pointing to a picture) handed it down to to me, and I to you,’

His yoice wavered slightly ia uttering this benediction; but only gor’ moment; he

com posedly.

‘ Notso the other; his color came and went violently all the time his father was speaking, and, when he ceased, he sank into his chair with another sigh deeper than the last, and two half-hysterical tears came to his pale eyes.

But presently, feeling he was expected to say something, he struggled ugainst all this mysterious emotion, and faltered out that he should not fear the responsibility, if he might have constant recourse to his father for advice,

‘Why, of course,’ was the reply, ‘my country house is but 3 mile from the sta- tion; you can telegraph for me in any case of importance.

‘When would you wish me to commence my new duties ?’

‘Let me sir, it will take six weeks to pre- pare a balance sheet, such as I could be content te submit to an incoming partner. Say two months.’

Young Wardlaw’s countenance fell.

‘Meantime you shall travel on the Con tinent and enjoy yourself.’

‘Thank you,’ said young Wardlaw, mechanically, and fell into a brown study.

The room now returned to what seemed its natural state. And its silence continued until it was broken from with- out.

The Wardlaws lcoked at one another in some little surprise.

‘I have invited nobody,’ said the elder.

The footman went off with his message, and soon after, raised voices were heard in the hall, and the episcopal butler entered the room with an injured countenance.

| ‘He says he snust see you; he is in great /anxiety.’ | ‘Yes, I am in great anx‘ety,’ said a quav- ‘ering voice, at his elbow; and Mr. Adams actually pushed by the butler, and stood, ihat in hance, in those sacred precints. ‘Pray excuse me, sir,’ said he, ‘but it is very serious; I can’t be easy in my mind till I have put you a question.’

‘This is very extraordinary conduct, sir,’ said Mr. Wardlaw. ‘Do you think I do business here, znd at ali hours ?’

‘Oh! no, sir; it is my own business. | am come to ask you a very serious question. I couldn’t wait till morning with such a doubt on my mind.’

‘Well, sir, 1 repeat this is irregular and extraordinary; but as vou are here, pray what is the matter!’ He then dismissed the lingering butler with a look. Mr. - Adams cast uneasy glances on young Wardlaw.

‘Oh,’ said the elder, ‘you can speak before him. This is my partner; that is to say, he will be as soon as the balance sheet can be prepared, and the deed drawn. Wardlaw junior, this is Mr. Adams, a very respect- able bill d:scounter.’

The two men bowed to each other, and Arthur Wardlaw sat down motionless.

‘Sir, did you draw a note of hand to-day?’ inquired Adams of the elder merchant.

‘I dare cay I did. Did you discount one signed by me?’

‘Yes, sir, we did.’

‘Well, sir, you have only to present it at maturity. Wardlaw & Son will provide

for it, I dare say.’ This, with the lofty nonchalance of a rich man, who had never coken an engagement in his life.

‘Ah! that I know they will if it’s all right; but suppose it is not ?’

‘What d’ye mean’ asked Wardlaw, in some astonishment.

‘Oh, nothing, sir! I bears your signa- ture, that is good for twenty times the amount, and it is endorsed by your cashier Only what makes me a little uneasy, your bills used to be always on your own forms, and so I told my partner; he discounted it. Gentlemen, 1 wish you would just look at Bh nsab denitinelditiek

‘Of course we will look at it. Show it to Arthur first; his eyes are younger than mine.’

Mr. Adams took outa large bill-book, extracted the note of hand, and passed it across the table to Wardlaw junior. He took it up with a sort of shiver, bent his head very low over it; then handed it back in silence. A

Adams took it to Wardlaw senior, and' laid it before him, by the side of Arthur's Testamur.

‘The writing is mine, apparently.’

‘l am very glad if it,’ said the bill-broker eagerly.

‘Stop a bit,’ said Mr. Wardlaw. ‘Why, what is this? For two thousand pounds! And, as you say, not my form I have signed no note for two thousand pounds this week. Dated yesterday. You have not cashed it, I hope?’

‘fam sorry to say my partner has.’

‘Well, sir, not to keep you in suspense, the thing is not worth the stamp it is written on.’

Mr. Wardlaw)—sir!—good heavenss! It is then as | feared. It is a forgery!’ ‘Lshould be puzzled io find any other name for it. You need not look so pale, Arthur. We can’t help some clever scoun- drel imitating our hands; and as for you, Adams, you ought to have been more cautious.’

‘But, sir, your cashier's name is Penfold,’ faltered the holder, clinging to a straw. ‘May he not have—is the indorsement forged as well ?”’

Mr. Wardlaw examined the back of the bill, and looked puzzled.

‘No,'aaid he, ‘my cashier's name is Michael Penfold, but this is indorsed ‘Robert Penfvid’ Do you hear, Arthur ? Why, what is the matter with you? You ook like aghost. I say, there is your tutor’s nameon the back of this forged note. Thia is very strange. Just look, and te!l use who wrote these two words, ‘Robert Penfold’ ?

Young Wardlaw took the document, and tried to examine it calmly, but it shook visibly in his hand, and a cold moisture gathered on his brow. His pale eyes roved to and froin ea very remarkable way; and he was so long before he said anything that both the other persons present began to eye him with wonder.

At last he faltered out :

‘This ‘Robert Penfold’ seems to me very like his own handwriting. But then the rest of the writing is equally like yours, sir. Iam sure Robert Penfold never did anything wrong. Mr. Adams, please oblige me. Let this go no further till | have seen him, and asked him whether he indorsed it.”

‘Now, don’t yon be in a hurry,’ said the elder Wardlaw. ‘The first questivn is, who received the money /’

Mr. Adams replied that it wasa res- spectable-looking man, a young clergyman.

‘Ah!’ said Wardlaw, with a world of meaning.

‘Father,’ said young Wardlaw, implor- ingly, ‘for my sake, say no more to-night !

,with a profusion of thanks, and bustled away, leaving Wardiaw senior excited and jindignant, Wardlaw junior ghastly pale and almost stupefied.

Scarcely a word was spoken for some minutes, and then the younger man broke out suddenly:

‘Robert Penfold is the best friend I ever had; I should have been expelled but for him, and I should not have earned that Testamur but for him.’

The old merchant interrupted him:

*You exaggerate; but, to tell the truth, I am sorry now I did not lend him the money you asked for; for mark my words, in a moment of temptation that miserable youn man has ferged my pame, and will be con- vieted ef the felony, and punished accord- ingly.”

‘No, no. Gh, God forbid !’ shrieked young Wardlaw: ‘I couidn’t bear it. If he did, he must have intended to replace it. I must see him, I wili see him directly.’

He got up all in a hurry, and was going to Penfold to warn him, and get him out of the way till the money should be replaced. But his fasher started upat the same moment, and forbade him, in acceuts that /he had never yet been able to resist.

_ ‘Sit down, sir, this instant,’ said the old man, with terrible sternness. ‘Sit down, I say, or you will never be a partner of mine. Justice must take its course. What busi- ness and what right have we to protect a felon! I would not take your part if you were one. Indeed it is too late now,for the detectives will be with him before you could reach him. I gave Adams his ad- dress.’

At this Jast piece of information Wardé- law junior leaned his head on the table, and groaned aloud, and a cold perspira- = gathered in beads upon his white fere-

ead,
